Help:HPCC Torque Queues

Job Queues on the CSDMS HPCC

We have defined a set of queues to which you can submit your jobs to on beach. Note that if you do not specify a queue, it will be sent to the default queue. More importantly note that the default queue has a maximum run time of 4 days and so if your job has not finished after 4 days, it will be killed.

Cheat Sheet

A brief list of the job queues on the CSDMS HPCC. Please note that the queues are still being configured and that the following information may change without notice. We should get to a stable set of queues shortly.

Queue	Max Run Time	Description
default	4 days	Jobs that should be done within a few days
long	unlimited	Jobs that will run for a long time
debug	2 hours	Short jobs that might be used for testing
fat	unlimited	Jobs that need to use memory-rich nodes
vip	1 day	Important jobs that need to get done now

Use qstat to get an up-to-date summary of the queues. <geshi lang=bash> > qstat -q Queue Memory CPU Time Walltime Node Run Que Lm State
